VelaShape™

Description:
A variation of the VelaSmooth™ cellulite removal system, VelaShape™ also utilizes elos technology, but with a different applicator head, putting greater emphasis on body contouring and shaping. VelaShape™ is considered a simple, non-surgical alternative to Liposuction. While it is mainly marketed as a treatment for body contouring, it can also assist in skin rejuvenation and cellulite removal. VelaShape™ treatments can work wonders on shrinking fat deposits in the buttocks, thighs, hips, and abdomen.

The Procedure:
VelaShape™ treatments use a combination of bi-polar radio frequency energy and infrared light energy, known together as elos technology. This system, along with massaging rollers and a suction device, help to treat deep layers of dermal tissue without the need for any complex invasive elements.

Time Required:
Each VelaShape™ treatment takes about 30-40 minutes on average, depening on the size of the area being treated. Best results may be seen with 8-12 treatments spread out over two months time.

In/Out Patient:

As a cosmetic treatment, VelaShape™ costs are not covered by most insurance.
